Support the charities you care about with one IRA distribution, one tax acknowledgment, and one simple giving plan.
By establishing a Designated Fund at Hudson Community Foundation, you can use a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA to support multiple charitable organizations through a single charitable vehicle. Instead of making separate gifts to each charity, your fund handles the giving for you, providing a streamlined approach to philanthropy while allowing you to continue supporting the causes that matter most.
Create a fund in your name, support your favorite charities year after year, and streamline your charitable giving, all while taking advantage of one of the most effective charitable planning tools available.
✓ Support multiple charities through one fund
✓ Make one IRA distribution and receive one charitable tax receipt
✓ Maintain long-term support for the nonprofits you care about
✓ Simplify your annual charitable giving and recordkeeping
✓ Give up to $111,000 annually through a Qualified Charitable Distribution
Your community foundation can help you connect to the causes you care about most. You can set up a charitable fund in your name or make an unrestricted gift. Giving is one of life’s pleasures; we can help you enjoy it today.
You have the ability to direct up to $111,000 of your required distribution amount straight to qualified charities (those recognized by the IRS under Section 501(c)(3)). While the IRS does not allow donors to make a qualified charitable distribution directly to your own donor-advised fund, you can donate to unrestricted funds including including Hudson NOW Fund or Hudson FOREVER Fund, and that amount will NOT be included in your taxable income for the year. Support your favorite Hudson Community Fund today by making your year-end gift before December 31, 2026.
